Chapter 34

All sorts of things, I picked out everything I needed.

All in all, Su Zhenhua spent a total of sixty-five yuan and fifty cents.

This was much cheaper than he expected.

Of course, Su Zhenhua knew that because Lu Wan did not choose clothes but bought fabrics, she saved a lot.

In addition, when choosing things, we don’t pick expensive ones, but cheaper ones with better value for money.

If you don’t save money on purpose, you will definitely have to spend more money. All in all, it will be more than a hundred yuan.

I made a total of two hundred and forty-two dollars from selling wild boar meat.

I bought some snow cream and egg cake for Lu Wan, which cost me three dollars. I also bought some fruit candy and egg cake for my nephew and niece, which also cost me three dollars. I have two hundred and thirty-six dollars left.

Now I have spent another sixty-five dollars and fifty cents, which means I have one hundred and seventy dollars and fifty cents left.

If I give Lu Wan another fifty yuan as a betrothal gift, I will have another one hundred and twenty fifty yuan left.

With so much money left, I can buy a lot of things.

On the wedding day, you will have to buy extra things like banquets and candies.

At this moment, Su Zhenhua was glad that he went to the black market to sell the goods, otherwise, the money he earned would probably not be enough.

After picking out the items, Lu Wan clapped her hands and said to Su Zhenhua with a smile, “Okay, I’ve finished choosing my items, it’s your turn now!”

Su Zhenhua was stunned, “Um…what should I choose?”

Lu Wan smiled and said, “Choose a pair of small leather shoes and two sets of clothes.

If you think the clothes don’t look good, you can pick out the fabric and I’ll make them for you later.”

Su Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, “Lu Zhiqing, I’ll buy it for you. I don’t need to buy it. And I don’t have any leather shoe tickets, so I can’t buy it…”

Lu Wan said with a straight face, “Comrade Su Zhenhua, we are getting married and we all have to wear new clothes and new shoes. It doesn’t make sense for me to be the only one wearing new clothes.

I bought the new clothes and shoes for you.”

“This… this is not possible. I bought it for you. It was a betrothal gift. You bought it for me, what does this count as…”

“It’s like this in our city, men buy things for women, and women buy things for men, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

If you don’t want it, I’ll be angry!”

Su Zhenhua was afraid that Lu Wan would really get angry, so he had to say, “Okay, Lu Zhiqing, don’t be angry, I’ll choose you.”

Su Zhenhua took a look and picked out a pair of relatively cheap leather shoes.

But no matter how cheap they are, a pair still costs eighteen dollars.

As for clothes, Su Zhenhua was reluctant to buy ready-made clothes and just picked out two sets of fabric.

The fabric was cheaper, so he didn’t plan to ask Lu Wan to help him make it after he bought it, so he could just ask his mother to help.

Lu Wan had to make clothes for herself, and it would be too hard for her to make clothes for him as well.

Seeing that Su Zhenhua had made his choice, Lu Wan readily paid for the tickets.

There were so many things for the two of us to buy that it took a long time just to choose.

After buying, the big and small bags were tied to the back seat of the bicycle.

As for Lu Wan, she simply sat on the 28-bar bicycle in the front.

Compared to before, the two people will be closer and appear more intimate.

Su Zhenhua smelled Lu Wan’s long hair close to her face, feeling the fragrance.

Lu Wan smells so good, with a light fragrance that makes people fascinated.

Soon, the bicycle arrived at the production team.

Su Zhenhua felt a little regretful.

He somewhat wished that the road was longer. It would be great if he could continue walking like this with Lu Wan.

The two men rode their bicycles to the production team to avoid being seen by other production team members.

Seeing how intimate Lu Wan and Su Zhenhua were when riding their bicycles, there were bound to be some gossipers in the production team.

However, there were also some sensible people who defended Lu Wan and Su Zhenhua.

They have already decided to get married, so what if they get closer and more intimate? It’s not like they’re having an affair, so there’s no need to criticize them.

Su Zhenhua first sent Lu Wan to the educated youth site, moved down the things he bought for Lu Wan, and gave Lu Wan fifty yuan.

“Lu Zhiqing, this is fifty yuan as a gift for you. Take it.”

Knowing that it was a betrothal gift to her, Lu Wan accepted it without hesitation.

After sending Lu Wan back, Su Zhenhua went back with two pieces of cloth and a pair of small leather shoes that Lu Wan bought for him.

Lu Wan offered to make clothes for Su Zhenhua, but was rejected by the man, so Lu Wan had to go with him.

Although he was reluctant to let Lu Wan spend money on him, Su Zhenhua still felt happy when he received the fabric and leather shoes that Lu Wan bought for him.

When I was carrying the things back, the Su family just came back from work in the morning.

Seeing the men’s fabrics and men’s leather shoes that Su Zhenhua brought back, Zhao Yumei said sarcastically, “Third brother, I asked you to pick out the betrothal gifts for Lu Zhiqing, but you also bought clothes and shoes for yourself? These leather shoes are not cheap, right? How could you afford to buy them for yourself… You are so rich, buy a pair for your eldest brother later!”

Su Zhendong quickly pulled Zhao Yumei and signaled her not to talk nonsense.

Zhao Yumei asked, “What’s wrong? You won’t even let me say a few words?”

Zhu Aihua on the side glared at Zhao Yumei unhappily, “So what if the third brother bought it for himself? Can’t he buy a pair of small leather shoes for him to wear when he gets married?

Besides, this is the money that the third brother earned from hunting wild boars, and he didn’t spend any of the family’s money! “

Zhao Yumei still said unwillingly, “Mom, you can’t say that. We haven’t divided the family yet! Put aside the betrothal gift to Lu Zhiqing, the remaining money should also be handed over to my third brother. We should use it together!”

Zhu Aihua wanted to start scolding, how could the eldest son’s wife have the nerve to say that?

But before Zhu Aihua could curse, Su Zhenhua explained, “Mom, sister-in-law, I didn’t buy this myself, Lu Zhiqing bought it for me.

She said that according to the rules in the city, if the man buys something for the woman, the woman must also buy something for the man.

Even though Zhao Yumei was thick-skinned, her expression began to become unnatural. She awkwardly dug a hole in the ground and crawled in.

After hearing this, Zhu Aihua glared at Zhao Yumei and said, “My eldest daughter-in-law, did you hear me? This was bought by Lu Zhiqing for your third brother, not by your third brother himself.”

He sighed again and said to Su Zhenhua, “Third brother, our family has taken advantage of us this time.

It’s already unfair enough for Lu Zhiqing, a city girl, to marry into our family.

This is not only about the bicycle as a dowry, but also about buying fabrics and small leather shoes. It’s embarrassing…”

Su Zhenhua nodded.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, he got a great bargain.

He couldn’t give Lu Wan much materially, so he could only choose to be twice as good to her.

“Mom, please make me two sets of clothes using the fabric Lu Zhiqing bought for me.”

“Okay, this is not difficult. Mom will make it for you later.” Zhu Aihua agreed with a smile.

When the other members of the Su family knew that Lu Wan had also bought cloth and small leather shoes for Su Zhenhua, they were all very envious.
